The effect of adult body mass on health maintenance. (A) Peak value of relative maintenance ratio is proportional to the logarithm of adult body mass to a 1/4 power. The dots are the calculated values from Eqs. 5 and 6. (B) The overall effect, I, scales with adult body mass to a 1/4 power. (The degree of CR, β = 0.6, the CR starting point, τ = 42 d, and temperature drop, ΔT = 0).
